Obama has been on tour promoting her best-selling memoir -- "Becoming."
The top spot was held by Hillary Clinton for 17 years.

Obama finished second to her three times before.
The poll, conducted every year but one since 1946, asked Americans, "in an open-ended question, to name the man and woman living anywhere in the world today whom they admire most."
